[Lauruhn, Michael (ELS-SDG)]

LD4PE (Linked Data for Professional Educators) will have its next outreach event at the LITA Forum<http://litaforum.org/> in Minneapolis this weekend. Mike Lauruhn and Debbie Maron will lead a concurrent session on Sunday, November 15 at 9am<http://litaforum.org/concurrent-sessions/sunday-morning-concurrent-sessions/>. The session is intended to be casual, conversational, and participatory. We look forward to meeting with Linked Data learners, practitioners, and instructors about their experiences learning and teaching Linked Data. What works? What's hard? What should be prioritized? What's overkill? What are your favorite resources?

This will also be a chance for the LITA community to learn and provide feedback about our methodology for identifying, describing, and evaluation learning resources for Linked Data. The session will provide an introduction to the Competency Index for Linked Data<http://explore.dublincore.net/comp-index/> and provide information on how to the get involved with the project. The input of volunteers is essential is for making sure the Linked Data community continues to flourish.

The Linked Data for Professional Educators (LD4PE)<http://explore.dublincore.net/> project is under the jurisdiction of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative Education & Outreach Committee. LD4PE is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

Hope to see you there.
Mike
